I heard this a few times but I think its nonsense. I'm average and defo dont get hit on as much as my more attractive friends same for my other "average" friends, but apparently beautiful girls are more "intimidating" to most guys.

Do average girls get hit on/white knighted more by average guys maybe though?

I don't think guys look at a girl and say "She's average, let me hit on her"...all guys try it with girls they find attractive, whether or not anyone else thinks the girl is attractive is another matter..

Well that's an interesting idea. For the vast majority of guys there does come a point in which a female may appear unattainable because she is so attractive. So the guy will not even bother trying because he assumes that he will get rejected. A below average guy will, when he realises he is, hit on below average girls but don't assume that you are below average just because you have not been hit on

I'm not sure I would have thought it would be looks... but rather like... 'high strunginess'?
You can be very good looking and seem approachable, or conversely... not.

A lot of guys stereotype pretty girls as *****es TBF

Well, it depends - if they are smart and beautiful, it can be intimidating.
If they are beautiful but a complete *****, they can **** off
If they are beautiful and have a good personality, feelings may develop

What about below average?

Some guys do feel threatened when they see a really attractive girl as they might think she's too good for her and might not have the confidence to approach her. So yes, they might go and seek an average girl in that sense. Although I do agree with you and I still believe that attractive girls get more attention that the plain jane's. I see it all the time, in my school the better looking girls definitely get more attention than the average looking/below average looking girls but it depends really. I also know some attractive girls that do not recieve as much attention because they are shy.

What about girls they find more attractive though?

Depends on the guy...some guys will only approach girls they find really attractive, thinking it's pointless going for girls that they only find slightly attractive, and some guys will only go for those that they think are kinda attractive, thinking the ones that are really attractive are out of their league...
